Price History
Description
Design. The butterfly is a motif of powerful transformation and has been used in cultural symbolism for thousands of years, including ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. Fossils of butterflies date back to around 40-50 million years ago.
Our Stylist Says
I love this moth art piece for its bold yet intricate design, making it a standout feature in any room. Its natural earthy tones and detailed depiction work particularly well in eclectic or vintage-inspired interiors, but it can also add a touch of whimsy to modern and minimalist spaces. When styling, consider pairing it with neutral colour palettes to let the artwork be the focus, or combine it with other nature-inspired or botanical elements for a cohesive look. A good practical tip is to hang it at eye level in a well-lit spot to highlight the details, and consider framing it with contrasting or subtle finishes depending on your overall interior style.

A Remarkable Journey
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
Sustainability at the Forefront
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Innovative Spaces and Expanding Horizons
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
